Charity Busk

Posted by Sarah Canice Funke Jun 16, 2007

A violinist who performed with the 2006 British Promenade Concerts embarks on a five month tour to raise money for charitable causes. However, instead of booking concert halls, he will be performing on the streets (busking). His tour starts from an Underground Station in London and will cover Germany, Sweden, India, Australia and Mexico, ending up in America. Calling his tour Around the World and Bach, Juritz will perform Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin, a challenging program. Along the way, he must raise money for his traveling expenses. Anything extra raised will go to charity. Pre-trip experiments showed that audiences seemed appreciative. Juritz anticipates a good turn-out in terms of donations.
